Toby and Bram

He sits there watching what the cat is doing. He is so interested in everything around him. He doesn’t understand anything yet, except that the cat is a nice toy. Sometimes he gets a hit from the cat and thinks it is all a part of a game. The cat just doesn’t know what to do with him. It’s a fluffy ball walking around the house making noises that the cat doesn’t understand.

He loves attention and he loves to be hugged. If it was up to him, he would be on your lap the entire day. Of course we don’t have the entire day to sit with him and please him the way he wants it. He is so fluffy and so young, still a real pup. He will become a real man soon and then it is time to say goodbye to his puppy behavior! Which I am somewhat glad for. It is not my pup but my mothers. With my ADD he can trigger me very fast in becoming angry.

He yawns as he looks at me. Not sure if I am trustable but at least I have taken him with me so that he feels a little safe. Normally he is not allowed to be here but since I have to disinfect the place and clean the sheets, I figured it is ok. He also destroyed a cup downstairs. Unfortunately I was too late to punish him. With pups you have to direct punish or reward him because they don’t make the link if there is too much time between the act and the consequences.


While he was laying on a fleece blanket that was on my bed, the cat looked as if he was furious! How can that fluff ball be in my territory and on my sleeping place?  So I told him; ‘don’t worry love, this is one time only’. When I am done later, the cat can come here and discover clean sheets. So mom arrives and the dog is awake. I took him and his treats downstairs and a few minutes later the cat comes flying upstairs purring like crazy. “I told you darling, our place” I said to him. He gives a lot of bumpy heads of happiness and wants a treat. Of course he gets the treat, he has been such a good boy! After all, the dog is not here anymore and he is back with me.

Not sure if cats do understand what is going on but it seems that he does. He sits there happy washing himself, getting ready for some good sleep and precious time with me. Wait until I start to pull the sheets off my bed, then he is wide awake and wants to help me. His way of saying good girl is really the reason why I put him down until I am done. He digs new sheets and tries to be on all of them. So when the first sheet is there, he wants to be on it and sleep. It is really annoying to chase him off the bed all the time. It is however fun when I am done. Then the door opens and I call him. He doesn’t know how fast to be here. He meows all the way until he is here and sees it. Even thought he is only allowed on the cover, he still tries to be between the blanket and me. It is so sweet and charming but no cat hair in my bed! Right now he has hidden himself so he can destroy my hard work but I know where he is and doesn’t stand a chance with me.

The dog, Toby, is downstairs being happy that mommy got home after all. And sneaky cat Brammie is already happy that he is with me.
